Does anyone know how to create a Custom Activity Entity when a Plugin installs?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

I'm able to create a Custom Activity Entity using the CreateCustomActivityEntity from the Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Samples. I've then written a Plugin that works great with the Custom Activity. What I can't figure out is how to create the Customer Activity when the Plugin installs.

<WILL ADD CODE ON EDIT>

Does anyone have an examples of his this might work?

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

    Since I can't edit this, here is the code I have tried.

    //Check to see if My Entity exists
                var entityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest
                {
                    EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Entity,
                    LogicalName = "new_myentity",
                    RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
                };

                var entityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)service.Execute(entityRequest);
                EntityMetadata MyEntity = entityResponse.EntityMetadata;
    if (MyEntity == null)
{
 //Create Custom Activity
}

    //Obtain the target entity from the input parameters.
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

                // Verify that the target entity represents My Entity.
                // If not, this plug-in was not registered correctly.
                if (entity.LogicalName != "new_myentity")
                    return;
